COMMUNITY
We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) for our publishing activities.
Students, families, friends and dignitaries were wel-comed by Sandee Blair, principal of Princeton Secondary School (PSS) during graduation ceremonies held at PSS on Saturday, June 22.
“Remember this moment, this is how it feels to achieve your goals,” said MLA Jackie Tegart while extending her congratulations to this years graduates.
Mayor Frank Armitage gave his congratulations, add-ing that “we are extremely proud of you.” He also shared a company slogan from his earlier days of mining that stayed with him throughout the years — “learn for life.”
Greetings from School District #58 were extended
by Trustee Dave Rainer and Superintendent, Dr. Robert Peacock who was joined by Assistant Superintendant Steve McNiven and hand drummer Hank Vesage in per-forming a welcoming song and the “Heart Beat” song. Mr. Vesage explained that the Heart Beat song was a prayer for a “long, safe journey and for the heart to keep beating.”
Guest speakers Liz Knibbecke and Scott Musgrove shared their adoration for this class and encouraged them to, “take their values with them.”— “Respect, honesty, fairness, kindness and loyalty.”
A slide show prepared by graduates Morgan Dobbs and Colton Callihoo was presented featuring baby to child to teen year photos of the class, causing quite a few giggles and tears throughout the gymnasium. Drayden Larsen
was chosen as Valedictorian by his classmates and spoke about how great it was to graduate in Princeton. He spoke from experience as he spent a few years away in larger cen-tres—and was happy to return to home and friends.
Along with the presentation of bursaries and scholar-ships a special success was shared in regards to the Class of 2013.
For the first time in about 15 years the entire grade 12 class at Princeton Secondary School is successful in achieving their diplomas. Approximately 75 percent of this class also participated in “Dry Grad” celebrations.
Community members, businesses and organizations were most generous with their bursary and scholarship awards; See Graduation - Page 4

Pet-friendly outdoor spaces make pawfect gardening(NC)—With sweet summer in our midst,
it’s time to gear up the green thumb and get gardening. This season keep your pet in mind while planting your garden and create a truly enjoyable outdoor oasis that’s also safe for your four legged friend. Clarine Lee-Macaraig, an eco-expert with Evergreen – a national organi-zation committed to building sustainable green cities – offers the following tips for passionate pet owners to take action in their own backyards and beyond:
Planting Prowess - Choosing the right plants is key to a safe garden. Avoid Lily of the Valley, Yew, Rhododendron, Oleander, Azaleas, Foxglove and Deadly Nightshade, which can be just as toxic to humans as pets. If you prefer a green space to garden beds, consider white clo-ver seeds instead of grass seeds. White clover is more tolerant of dog and cat urine. And it can grow in shade, sun and it fixes nitrogen back into your soil!
Roaming Rover - Know your pet’s personality and design accordingly. For an energetic pup create a raised garden, which can protect some of your prized plants , keep your pet safe and keep help your pet stay. Raised garden beds are also good solutions to pets that are chewers. Be sure to allow plenty of space for your pet to run in and don’t forget a shaded area under which
they can enjoy some rest and relaxation.Safe solutions - Keeping it organic is the safest
way to garden for everyone in the family. Avoid pesticides and fertilizers, which can be danger-ous for four legged family members. Because pets regularly clean themselves the chemicals can irritate and harm a cat or dog. Know your pet! If your pet is sensitive and has allergies even natural or organic pest and weed controls can aggravate them. Try companion planting for the best pest control!
Rein it in - Be sure to keep your pets (cats and dogs) leashed when walking on unknown trails to protect plant life and wildlife in forests and wetlands. Remember that cats can be wildlife conscious too by wearing a leash and collar bell to alert and protect birds and other wildlife.
Lee-Macaraig points out that since Purina is committed to enriching the lives of pets and the people who love them, Evergreen has part-nered with them to support local green space restoration initiatives across Canada. As part of the initiative pet owners have a chance to win a pet-friendly backyard makeover. Little acts can make a big difference, so to learn how you can win one of three backyard makeovers, and help Purina support Evergreen’s Stewardship and Restoration program, visit www.pawsforth-eplanet.ca.
(NC)—Gardening can be a fun family activ-ity. In the warmest months of the year, many of us head outdoors to tackle home improvement projects and get our hands dirty in the garden. It’s important to make safety a top priority before you put your shovel in the ground.
Know what’s below
Whether you are planting trees or designing a new garden, it’s important to call before you dig There could be utility lines or natural gas pipes buried beneath your lawn and it would be wise to determine their location before you start digging. Contact BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886 or *6886 on your cell. They will coordinate with member utilities to locate underground lines, mark them, and will provide instructions on how to proceed safely. This is a free service.
Planting trees
Trees offer many benefits for your home and for your neighbourhood. Privacy, cleaner air, shade, and habitats for wildlife are all benefits that can be enjoyed by planting trees on your property. Trees can also add to the curb appeal of your house, and even help reduce energy costs.
Suggestion for you to save energy and money: Try planting evergreen trees on the north and
east sides to protect your home against winds and help reduce heating costs.
Planting deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves in the fall) on the south and west sides of a home can provide shade and help to lower air conditioning costs during the summer months.
Be mindful of the meter
When planning new gardens, or planting trees, be aware of your natural gas meter. Try to keep gardens and trees away from your meter to allow workers access if they need to read or work on your meter. More tips are available online at www.fortisbc.com

ledPrinceton Branch 185 of the BC Seniors &
Pensioners Organization (formerly known as OAPO) welcomed the provincial board and delegates from around the province to a three day Annual General Meeting June 11th - 13th in Princeton. Although not affiliated with OAPO, Princeton Seniors Branch 30 rented their hall and catered the convention, with coffee breaks, lunches and dinners that were enjoyed by everyone.
The meeting kicked off with a warm welcome by Princeton OAPO Branch President Joanne Nicholls, followed by Mayor Frank Armitage, extending his personal welcome to all visitors and giving some background and highlights of Princeton. Provincial OAPO President Jenifer Coburn chaired the meeting and delved into an ambitious agenda of provincial business and issues.
The BC Seniors & Pensioners Organization (OAPO) is all about ‘Seniors Serving Seniors’ and they advocate on behalf of all seniors regarding the health, housing and financial issues facing today’s elders. Seniors comprise the largest single demo-graphic in Canada and as the Baby Boomers retire in large numbers, lobbying and advocacy for this grow-ing group (sometimes called the Grey Tsunami) is more important than ever. OAPO is affiliated with the Council of Senior Citizens Organization, (COSCO) who have an impressive membership of over 90,000. The combined influence and support of the two groups is used to lobby elected officials at
all levels to shape policy and initiate change. OAPO is responsible for the development of the Old Age Pension program in Canada, back in the 1930s and they continue to fight today to support seniors in all areas.
Resolutions are an integral part of OAPO’s annual meeting agenda and the Provincial Board and attending delegates table the various issues of the day and vote on the topics that will be the focus of their advocacy in the coming year. Princeton Branch 185 resubmitted another resolution to keep pressure on restoring full services to Princeton General Hospital. Princeton had presented this as an Emergency Resolution last year and although there has been some progress, our Emergency Room is still not open 24/7 and it was unanimously carried that this is extremely important for our community and area.
Workshops, round table discussions and key-note speakers rounded out the meeting agenda and Wednesday evening provided a chance to socialize with a dinner and dance. All feedback on the meet-ing was positive and everyone said Princeton was a great venue.
Special thanks are due to Carol Seaman Secretary/Treasurer of OAPO Princeton Branch for her efforts to liaise with the Provincial Board and coordinate the event. Thanks also to Seniors Branch 30 catering staff for the great job they did keeping the delegates fed and making everyone feel so welcome in their house. With over 80 delegates, visitors and present-ers in attendance this was no small task. Great job – many thanks!!

The Regional District Board of Directors praised the volunteer spirit of Tulameen resi-dents at the June 20 regional district board meeting.
The praise came on the heels of a directors motion instituted by Princeton Rural Director Brad Hope.
Hope asked the board to award a building project to Romard Developments Inc. in the amount of $297,423.96 to build a roof struc-ture over the Tulameen ice surface.
The community has been working towards getting their ice surface covered since 2011, requesting the RDOS board to approve a grant application to the province’s Community Recreation Infrastructure Grant Program in December of that year.
The ice surface covering project is known in the community as “Raise the Roof.” The RDOS was successful in their application and a $240,000 grant was obtained, along with $70,000 in community funding for the project.
Eight proposals were submitted in a Request For Proposal issued in April of this year, rang-ing in price between $564,000 and $955,000.
All the proposals were too costly for Tulameen’s budget. However, a number of locals put their heads together and came up with a bid using labour, materials and equip-ment at cost. Their submitted bid could achieve the goal within the approximate $300,000 amount of funds available. The value of in-kind efforts is estimated at $90,000, bringing the total value of the project to $400,000.
The regional district board was gener-ally supportive of Hope’s request, praising Tulameen for their initiative in collaborating and working together to cut costs and make the project affordable for the community. Concerns raised were centred on the lack of a performance bond. Hope assured the board that the Raise the Roof group were already funded, and on budget or ahead of budget at this time. The board was also assured by Chief Administrative Officer Bill Newell that the community was the entity accepting the risks involved.
A timely approval from the board was of essence because the structural steel required a 12 week notice prior to on site delivery, if construction is to be complete before winter.
The board approved the recommended motion - to award the Tulameen Ice Roof Structure project to Romard Developments Inc. in the amount of $297, 423.96 inclusive of PST.

SpotlightOPINION
VICTORIA – There are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet.
They have been handed some of the hot-test problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry.
Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspec-tor from Surrey who’s in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommenda-tions for improvement to ensure the loan pro-gram is meeting the needs of today’s students.”
B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out uni-versity grads with $50,000 in debt and no job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent.
Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and apprenticeships.
In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union.
Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters.
Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administra-tive penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today.
Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison built, to relieve a system that has inmates living in tents. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous min-
isters, and push Metro Vancouver through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implement-ed, now is the time.
Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas develop-ment in northwestern B.C.
Oakes has to figure out how to “better pro-vide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, with no new money. All minis-ters have strict instructions to balance their lean
budgets and take part in the latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down.
New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim.
On top of that, the softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetle-kill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S. directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries.
Third-term MLA John Rustad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency.

When the big boys discuss national and inter-national energy policy, the role of municipalities is often left out of the discussions.
They are, however, one of the biggest stake-holders, working at the level of the end users: commercial, public sector, businesses and home-owners. Rising public sector energy costs and community energy security questions — as well as local economic and environmental concerns related to energy use, production and transpor-tation — mean that municipalities have impor-tant interests in Canadian energy policy.
And energy poverty — when households spend over 10 per cent of income on energy costs — is a direct problem for a growing number of Canadians. Penticton has its own energy policy, purchasing electricity wholesale and reselling to the community, with the profits helping to pay for capital projects in the city.
The city is also considering a run-of-river hydro project on Penticton or Ellis Creek. The possibilities under discussion would generate a relatively small amount of power, but are an important, if symbolic, step to the city lessening its dependence on outside sources. According to World Bank figures, Canada is a world leader, with almost 24 per cent of our energy com-ing from alternative energy sources, including hydro, nuclear, geothermal, and solar power, among others. That pales in comparison to goals of countries like Germany, 80 per cent renewable-based energy system by 2050, which includes municipal renewable and district ener-gy projects as a major component.
An overarching strategy to encourage coop-eration toward common goals, such as climate change mitigation, energy security, environ-mental sustainability and a more diversified economy will benefit all Canadians. It will be stronger if Canada’s municipal governments, which have such important stakes and expertise to contribute, are part of the process.

to everyone who attended our community dinners and supports our
Legion on a regular basis.Also, a huge thanks to the wonderful people who volunteer to help in our many activities. Check us out in the Fall for what’s happening. Some old
things returning and maybe some new things beginning!
HAve A greAT SUmmer!
Remember that Friday, June 28 we will be having a free BBQ for the public in celebration of Legion Week. BBQ takes place from Noon until about 4:30 p.m.There will be a few activities for children in the banquet hall. Come and see all our facilities as well as our information booth in the front lobby. You are welcome to ask questions about the Legion.The Legion Colour Party will be leading the Rotary Parade on Friday, June 28 at 6 p.m. After the parade, come back to the Legion and enjoy a free dance in the lounge beginning at 7 p.m. Music will be provided by Ian Elko.
We are all looking forward to a great summer but work does go on. Our meat draws are still doing well - remember to bring your guests in for some fun on Saturday afternoons — we like to see visitors win. The bingos also continue every Wednesday and Sunday. These all start at 2:30 p.m. Hope to see you there. ~ Jean Bowles
9 holes Golf open for all members and the public. After golf, come back to the Branch for a BBQ burger or hot dog and all the fixings. Then, you will get yourself a prize (donated by our local businesses).All of this for the incredibly low fee of $35 (non-golf course mem-bers) or $20 (golf course members), per player. Sign up in the Legion Lounge as a team or as a single. You MUST register and pay when you sign up.
Beginning in 2012 a veterans supplement in addition to the regular home owners grant is available to qualifying low-income veterans. There are numerous stipulations to receive this grant. If you think you would qualify, please call toll-free in BC to 1-888-355-2700 or call the Legion and request the Service Officer return your call.

Wednesday June 12 Princeton Kokanees competed in their annual Black and Blue swim meet. Decked out in costumes the club took time from their hectic schedule to have some fun and celebrate their team colours. The Kokanee season has gotten off to a late start due to pool renovations. Needed pool and facility repairs delayed the season opening, but training is now in full swing and charging forward in an attempt to catch up to other teams in the region who have been training since May 1st.
Fifty swimmers and their parents par-ticipated in the fun meet which is held each year in order to familiarize new families
and swimmers with swim meet proce-dures. The black and blue meet is not a sanctioned swim meet but coaches try to replicate the “real” atmosphere as much as possible so that the swimmers are not nervous when they attend their first regional meets.
A heavy rain storm made for some soggy parent volunteers. Despite the wet and cold weather Kokanee swimmers had fun. The final standings were declared a tie between team Black and team Blue as both showed true Kokanee spirit during adverse conditions.
Princeton Kokanee enrollment num-bers have increased significantly this sea-son with close to 65 registered swimmers.

Three Vermilion Forks Field Naturalist mem-bers recently attended the Rocky Point Bird Observatory Hummingbird meeting in Burnaby, BC. The meeting was held at Simon Fraser University June 15, 2013 and at the Widgeon Marsh in Coquitlam on June 16. The members were Sue Elwell, Amanda Lahaie and Terry Tellier. All three have permits from the Canadian Wildlife Service of Canada to band humming-birds.
Researcher Dr. Doug Altshuler from UBC was the guest speaker. He explained the aerodynam-ics of “Hummingbird Flight” discovered in his groundbreaking experiments.
The Princeton team was honoured to be asked
to present their banding techniques to the confer-ence. As well as getting the chance to liaise with other banders and experts throughout BC they had a hands-on session at Widgeon Marsh.
Banding by the Princeton group has verified that we now have four species of hummingbirds nesting in the area. They are Rufous, Calliope, Black-chinned and now Anna’s. Recently the team captured a bird which had been banded a little more than two weeks earlier in southeastern Arizona. This is only the second Arizona bird captured in BC.
Data gleaned from banding the birds is used to determine migration routes, site dedication, population (sex, age, health), times they arrive, leave and breed, habitat requirements and pol-lination role. From this information we have learned about their primary threats which are global climate change, habitat destruction and invasive species.
The Hummingbird Banding Team includes VFFN volunteers as well as generous homeown-ers who provide banding locations. The banders thank all our volunteers plus give special thanks and appreciation to the VFFN club for their ongoing support of the project.

CAPRICORN: You are full of creative energy, Capricorn, and must turn it into projects that may help you to earn some money in the near future. Get started while you are motivated.
AQUARIUS: Expect some news that sheds light on a difficult issue that you have been trying to resolve, Aquarius. You may feel so relieved that a celebration is in order.
PISCES: Exciting changes are coming, and they all center around you, Pisces. It may be embarrassing being the center of attention, but try to enjoy it.
ARIES: Patience is necessary this week, Aries. Without it, you will grow frustrated quickly over the course of several days. Relax and make the most of the situation.
TAURUS: Expect to feel energetic and enthusiastic this week, Taurus. You may not know the source of all this energy and optimism, but that’s irrelevant as long as you enjoy these feelings.
GEMINI: You may be feeling a little psychic lately, Gemini. Give your insights the benefit of the doubt and try to understand the message that is being conveyed.
CANCER: Some intellectual conversation has you aiming for bigger and better things, Cancer. You may start a few creative projects as a result of these discussions.
LEO: Leo, don’t be surprised if some changes regarding your career come your way this week. A raise, promotion or a new job may be on the horizon. Embrace these changes.
VIRGO: Virgo, a release of tension is just what you need. You may find that something that has been restricting you and holding you back disappears in a few days.
LIBRA: Libra, sheer luck that brings strange and wonderful things is in the big picture this week. The things that you have been wishing or dreaming of just may come true.
SCORPIO: Scorpio, a business or romantic partner brings good news your way. This news erases a funk that you have been in. The news may help you resume a goal you had abandoned.
SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, don’t worry about an upcoming doctor’s visit. You may just get a clean bill of health from your doctor this week. This will definitely ease up some stress.
FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY
Burgers are a staple of easy living. They can be enjoyed at lunch, dinner or even served miniature as hors d’oeuvres. Relatively easy to whip up, burgers are also a go-to meal when time is short but everyone is hungry.
Though burgers are simple to create and even easier to love, over time the same old burger recipe might need to be spiced up a little. Burgers can be modified with the addi-tion of different toppings, but for home cooks who want a burger that is different from the inside out, they may want to go back to the culinary drawing board.
TasTy Tuscan BurgersMakes 4 servings
11/2 pounds ground pork or turkey (a white meat works best with the other flavors)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese or pecorino romano
1/3 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs1 cup thinly chopped or grated zuc-
chini1 to 2 plum tomatoes, chopped8 freshly chopped basil leaves or a tea-
spoon of prepared pesto4 slices fresh mozzarella4 slices red onion4 leaves romaine lettuce4 medium ciabatta rolls, split and light-
ly toasted Salt and pepper Garlic aioli garnish (recipe follows)
Mix together the ground meat, zucchini, breadcrumbs, grated cheese, tomatoes, and basil leaves together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide mixture into four equal portions and form into patty shapes,
roughly 1 inch thick.Cook burgers via desired method (broiler,
grill, stove top) until the bottoms are browned, about 6 minutes. Carefully turn over to cook the other side, another 4 to 5 minutes. Use an instead-read thermometer to determine doneness if you are unsure, depending upon whether you used turkey or pork.
Turn off heat and top each burger with a slice of mozzarella. Allow to just melt slightly.
Spread garlic aioli over ciabatta rolls and place a slice of red onion and lettuce on each bottom. Top with the burgers and finish off with the roll top. Enjoy with rosemary-seasoned potato wedges as a nice complement.
Basic Garlic Aioli3 cloves chopped garlic1 cup mayonnaise1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon
juice1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian
parsleySalt and pepper to taste
Use an immersion blender to combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Wrap and refrigerate for around 30 minutes to enable to flavors to develop. Serve with burgers or other sandwiches. PC136235

The subject of graffiti keeps popping up in my mind these days and I’m trying, yet again to sort things out. To say that I’m conflicted is an under-statement and I admit to you that my passions run high. What to do then? I consult Wikipedia of course, and see what others have to say about it.
Would you believe that there is documented evidence of graffiti in the excavations of Pompeii? It was perhaps more innocuous than what we gen-erally see in our environment today, often being equivalent to the drawn heart with “ John loves Mary” declaration.
However, some ancient examples were dicey even then and some were blatantly commercial or political. At the very least, ancient graffiti was an expression of popular culture and revealed details that would otherwise be lost to historians. Jump forward approximately two thousand years and we have the quaint example, “Kilroy was here” from World War II. There are several stories about who Kilroy was, apparently none verifiable.
Where my conflict occurs is trying to understand why and where graffiti became for some, an excuse to deface and offend. As far as I can gather, for those destructive folk, there is a complete disconnect between the real power that exists in creating great graffiti and the mindless acts that create hardship for members of a community. As an expression of popular culture, the images and messages can be very powerful and a
force for good, or they can scare us all brainless by the creator’s complete lack of ability to attach consequences to their acts.
I understand that there can be a very fine line between graffiti art and vandalism and I understand that part of the culture of graffiti is the excite-ment of anonymous acts done without permission, mostly in the dark. I also understand that tagging is evidence of gang activities and therefore signs of an unhealthy underbelly in our community.
It has been suggested to me that a possible solution to these occasional attacks of embarrassing idiocy such as the one borne out on the third bench recently could be short-circuited by designating a large outdoor wall for graffiti.
I’m skeptical because that would remove the thrill of anonymity and the ability of the “artist” to keep our teeth on edge.
However, I can also see that it could give an opportunity for the poten-tial graffiti artists to hone their skills and become expert at using colour, form and content in a more meaningful way. I’m also willing to bet that it would foster respect for the buildings and murals in town by creating a connection to the rest of us.
What do you think?

Naturalists relished the dry and sunny weath-er on Saturday, June 22, when Tip Anderson led a group of 13 on a fun field trip at Wolfe Lake. Activities were diverse, with some of the group kayaking in Wolfe Lake, others hiking the “Don Burbidge trail” to the north end of Issitz Lake, where Peter Antonick tossed in his fish-ing line and managed to catch (with assistance!) four rainbow trout within a very short time. We were lucky enough to be accompanied by Pat Parsons, who contributed to the camaraderie, while he and Tip educated us on some of the
history of the area. We ate our lunches around a campfire outside Pat’s cabin, as Peter cooked and shared the delicious trout. Highlights of the day were the beautiful, haunting calls of the loons on the lake, a pair of Belted Kingfishers, a pair of Bald Eagles, a Golden Eagle, Ruffed Grouse with chicks, and two Rubber Boas, one of which was first spotted swimming across the lake towards us. Our next field trip will be July 6, when Peter Antonick will take us to the “Hole in the Wall” and once again demonstrate his fishing skills. Bring along your fishing rods, licenses and phone Peter at 250-295-3640 to confirm atten-dance. We will meet at Billy’s at 9 am.

While out on their latest venture the Vermilion Forks Field Naturalist group stopped to take a break and enjoy the beauty of Issitz Lake.
